As the DCU prepares to revisit Batman and people theorize who might face off against the Dark Knight, it’s time to accept some villains just won’t work on the big screen. When discussing the genre of superhero films, sometimes they’re only as good as the villains that star in them.

With an emotional backstory and bizarre gimmick, she has all the makings of a great Batman villain. However, the smaller, more intimate stories that work well for Baby Doll aren’t enough for a feature-length film, and former attempts to elevate her plots to grander scales resulted in the ludicrous episode “Love is a Croc.” Baby Doll only works on television, and as much as she hates being type-cast, it’s where she truly shined
